Therefore, I want to force crlf conversion for this specific

Unix.
I suspect that most problems with crlf is caused by Windows users who
have core.autocrlf=false for whatever reason (I suspect without a
good
reason in most cases).
Almost correct. It is _unset_! And it should be perfectly valid for
users not having to set anything there.
Why is it unset? Since 1.5.5, our installer sets core.autocrlf=true
on Windows. So we *do* set a sane default for Windows users.
In the projects I am using git, the problematic platform is *Unix*.
To work around the default on Unix (core.autocrlf=false), I deliver
a custom script to our developers that verifies the setup on Unix and
complains if core.autocrlf is not set to "input". Since I do this,
I haven't seen any further problems.
